Bearing Grace
God won’t leave any of his faithful into troubles and stays away from them. He gives such people graces so that they can remain less irritated and not feel there is a great burden on them. His yoke is easy and burden is light(Matthew 11:30). This was true in many Saints who received the Stigmata… Continue reading

Great risks for God
Many of God’s people would trust in his Providence and risk everything for his call. The dangers awaiting them while doing this will of his did not discourage them. They took great risks towards spreading of the gospel to remote places. One of the great Saints, St Francis Xavier, volunteered to go on a journey… Continue reading

Saints and God: Intense Communication
The communication between God and his Saints was intense. They used to be lost in prayers for hours together at a time unmindful of their surroundings and people peeping into this activity. This was true in the life of St Martin Porres. His landlady was peeping into his room to see what was going on… Continue reading

Prayers
God’s healing in his people’s lives takes its own time. He makes everything beautiful in his time(Ecclesiastes 3:11). His promises may take time, but are sure and amen(2 Cor 1:20). Wherever prayers are offered to God, there is hope(Proverbs 23:18). Our duty is to pray without ceasing(1 Thes 5:17). Many Saints prayed constantly. St Faustina… Continue reading

Holiness Per Se
Holiness is required for everyone who wants to be with God. He requires us to be holy because he, himself, is holy(1Peter 1:16). More so, Christ is the epitome of holiness(Revelation 5:4,5) and we all should strive to be like him(Ephesians 5:1,2). No defiled thing enters Heaven(Revelation 21:27). Also love needs to be proved to… Continue reading

Faith and Reason
Reason seems to be all around us. It makes us think that everything has a cause. While the realm of faith makes us think differently. The Bible teaches us to believe in the supernatural world with countless miracles. The Church itself has a large collection of relics of Saints to prove this supernatural world. The… Continue reading

A Holy Death
Jesus Christ conquered death on the Cross. Death stings us no more(1Corinthians 15:55). After Jesus’ victory we are raised imperishable and enter eternal life, if we live in His grace(1Corinthians 15:42). For this is what we strive for(1Corinthians 9:24). The death of Saints was holy. St Anthony of Padua saw Jesus at the moment of… Continue reading
